RUBBISH APP: The War of the Worlds

Obviously it’s a GREAT book, we are not commenting on the quality of the literature here – it’s an all-time classic everyone needs to have enjoyed in written form.

What’s RUBBISH about The War of the Worlds on Android is that it highlights the practice in which Android developers stick out-of-copyright (AKA free to reproduce) books up on the Android Market, then attach a price tag to them – in this case $2.99.

It’s a rather shady practice, to say the least. Go and get a copy of the book from a charity shop, if you fancy it. It’s amazing. Then listen to the rock opera, which is amazing too.

    Download Aldiko. They have a LOT of classic books on there for free.

    There is a paid version but it is exactly the same as the free version. If you really like the app you could buy the paid version after using the free one to show support.

    The book itself needs to be read, awesome reading. H. G. Wells knows how to write a good book… :)
